--- Comment #3 from Jack <ostroffjh at users.sourceforge.net> ---
I think you don't understand what KMM actually does for reconciliation.  Most
important, it does not "lock" anything.  If you alter (edit or delete) a
transaction already marked as reconciled, then balances will be wrong unless
you fix them yourself.  KMM does not adjust the reconciled balance when you
change a reconciled transaction.  In fact, I am not sure that it actually
stored the reconciled balance - only the date of the last reconciliation.

In addition, the "previous balance" shown on the reconciliation window is
mainly for convenience - it is not really used in the process.  To do the
current reconciliation, you just need to be sure any transactions that are on
the current or any previous statement are marked either as reconciled or
cleared.  

For now, I would start by making sure that all transactions on your current
statement are entered and marked as cleared, and that any more recent
transactions are not marked.  At that point, you can start the reconciliation
process.  If the final balance shown on the reconciliation dialog is not
correct, the amount by which it differs should lead you to the missing or
incorrectly marked transaction.

To go back to the original issue - I think you could have just changed the
transaction from reconciled to cleared, then change the type of transaction,
then return it to reconciled.  If the amount of the transaction did not change,
then all the balances would have stayed unchanged.
